Lawmakers are poised to extend commercial and residential eviction protections until the end of August, despite opposition from landlords.
The Senate Committee on Housing, Construction and Community Development is slated to vote Tuesday on a measure that would prevent evictions and foreclosures for residential tenants and small landlords, as well as small businesses, who fill out hardship declaration forms. The newly proposed bill extends two separate laws the Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2020, and the COVID-19 Emergency Protect Our Small Businesses Act of 2021 that were set to expire May 1.

In December, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2020, which provided a moratorium on residential eviction and foreclosure proceedings until May 1, 2021. This act, however, did not provide any extensions of the moratorium on commercial evictions and foreclosures originally provided by Executive Order 202. The latest extension of the commercial ban (pursuant to Executive Order 202.91) expired on February 22, 2021. On February 22, 2021, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.95, which generally continued “the suspensions and modifications of law and any directives, unless superseded, modified or otherwise expired, made by Executive Order 202” for thirty days until March 24, 2021. Other than this blanket extension, commercial eviction and foreclosing protections had not been addressed.
